The snap soon hit headlines and everybody assumed this was her way of announcing the exciting news.

But now Beyoncé’s friend and former bandmate, Michelle Williams, has all but burst our bubble, denying that her friend is pregnant on The View earlier today: “You know when she was pregnant people said she wasn’t pregnant and you know, it’s just truth to it. Sorry!”

However, the ladies on the panel weren’t giving up hope just yet, and drew Michelle’s attention to the clear bump made out of sand that may have been Bey’s big hint.

However, the former Destiny’s Child singer wasn’t having any of it, saying: “First of all, if you look at the picture, the baby bump is like where her knees probably really are so that it really. All these allusions, just stop it, stop it, too many things.”
